Does anxiety cause you to avoid answering calls, making calls or both?✨The sound of a phone ringing can be triggering, it can spark memories of being given bad news in the past or having received threatening calls. ✨ Phone calls can also feel intrusive due to the unpredictability they can bring, especially when you don’t recognise the number.
✨Phone calls might also bring up feelings of being unprepared or even having your boundaries violated. ✨All of these things can lead to phone avoidance, which can feel like a good way to regain safety and control.
Many anxiety problems involve avoidance. A well-planned, step-by-step approach can help you confront your fears, and overcome this avoidance. If you'd like to learn more, my book Ten Times Calmer offers detailed guidance on this. 📚
